This meta-analysis of meta-analyses just appeared in a major radiology journal:
Informative Reporting of Systematic Reviews in Radiology
Radiology November 2013 269:2 313-314;
In this issue of Radiology,
Tunis and colleagues report on a study designed to evaluate whether the
completeness of reporting of systematic reviews
and meta-analyses in 11 radiology
journals improved between 2007 and 2011; reporting has improved, albeit
slowly, but attributing
the slow change entirely to Preferred
Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses may be too
generous.
